Related Strangers
Hey fellow Rhinos,
For my first time writing for NAPLWRIMO I'm writing a play called "Related Strangers." It follows a girl who, due to a family tragedy, is forced to spend time with her estranged extended family. I'm hoping it turns into a black comedy, but as even the best of writers know, your play can sometimes have other ideas on where to go.
I'm really excited and looking forward to spending a month writing this play and seeing the other great plays on this site. See you on the interweb!

Sorry I didn't reply earlier - I'm a newbie and I guess I thought this worked like facebook where I'd get an email if someone replied. Anyways I think my play turned out to be more dramatic than I originally thought it would be, but there's still a lot of comedy in it.
